This has been a great read.  I admire your thoroughness and attention to detail. 
You need a sheep, goat or lawn mower Wink

Probably hit it with a weed eater or a digger before I try mowing that.

This is what I know about building boats:  never, ever buy a goat.

Dragged it around the house with a digger, and managed  to get it on the trailer. It will be sitting outside on a gravel pad, under a cover. Cover will be a generic oceansouth to start with. If it doesn’t last I’ll spend some coin and get a custom made or build a little boatport. 

According to my torques on the jockey wheel calculations it’s 420kg for the bare hull. I’ll confirm with a scale at some stage but I have to fit and adjust the trailer first. Heavier than the plans, but I used Meranti ply, extra glass, some options and the extra weight will help the ride some. The 4.9m glass runabout was 460kg and was a significantly smaller boat. Expecting a BMT weight of about 850kg dry, which is about the same as a Haines 485. Good for a 5.3m boat.
